Sony ICF-36 AM FM TV WX Band Radio Review 

▶ The Sony ICF-36 at Ebay: bit.ly/SonyICF36 (paid link) As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase. There are no additional costs to you.

I was fortunate to buy an ICF-36 in a secondhand store. Such a wondrous simple pleasure to crawl into bed on a clear Saturday night here in southern Indiana, and fall asleep listening to the hillbilly music on WSM 650am Nashville.

I used this radio quite a bit in the 2000’s. I’m glad I still have it. You can’t go wrong with a Sony. Great review Todderbert. 👍

I bought this radio brand new way back in 2004 or so when the TV bands still worked. Was awesome then, still works today to listen to AM FM and Weather.

Picked one up today at Goodwill for $4. A little external cleaning and springs in battery tray cleaned of some corrosion. Works great! Great radio!

What Radio would you choose between a Panasonic 2400D and this ICF36 for a Table Top/Patio Radio 📻 . I know the Weather is on the Sony ICF 36 , and I do Love that option , but I just wanted your Opinion Todderbert as to which one would be better for FM/AM. And also, which one would you say has the better sound Quality between the two. I sure do love the Nostalgia of the Sony , it's pretty Cool , but I really do think I would love the Panasonic 2400D. Thank You for Response and Answer Todderbert . Always Enjoying the Dial Spinning and the Great Content 😎👍👍

Got mine, in very good condition, for 5 bucks at my local Salvation Army. Good for DX at night on the AM band

Very sensitive on AM. Audio quality is very good indeed!

I have that radio too. It’s very well made and is a all around good radio. 1190 AM might have been WOWO in Fort Wayne, IN. Nice band scan! 👍👏🏻❤️📻

My local surplus store had a box of about 10 of these a few years ago. I bought 3 of them for about $2 each in used condition. I'm really happy with them. I gave the other 2 to my parents. I noticed today that the local radio stations are also broadcasting on the TVL channels too.

Still my favorite portable AM/FM weather band unit even after breaking the antenna. Reception is so good I haven't gotten around to trying to find another one for it let me know if you have one of those laying around... 😀

I just bid on this radio on goodwill auction. A few more hours to go and it will be mine. And at a great price also 🙌🏼 Loved the video! Cheers from Houston

Any differences between the ICF 36 and ICF 38 other than the TV bands? Both the same radio otherwise?

3:52 better use 220V to 110V step down transformer if plan to use in Russia. To receive Soviet FM Band on TV 1 band.

I have one of these, but it has an iffy band switch. That is, it works fine for AM; have to jiggle it a bit a FM & quite a lot for WX.In the latter case, all I'll get a static. Tried cleaning the switch (after opening the set), but it hasn't helped. Any idea(s)?

📻🙂

mine dont get any weather bands. got a tiny Midland NOAA radio that gets several, Sony is still bottom of my list for electronics

I always wanted this radio.👍🏼

Sony was my first SW radio. I'm glad to see the ICF series again here.

Just picked one up at the Swap Meet for $10

The ICF-36 is excellent.

I live in Bakersfield California, I can’t seem to find the weather station at all! Help
